Changin URLs

I had a question verifying if there was a tool or anything along thelines that would change URLs within a site. We are migrating from aWSS 3.0 environment to a MOSS environment. A worry that we have nowis that there are currently thousands of team sites and subwebs. Whenwe migrate the team sites to the MOSS environment, we are making themtop level sites. The worry comes in where we are looking to see howwe mitigate the issue of hard coded URLs that a user placed in theirsite.Here is an example, most of the users would display an image fromtheir image library on their site and instead of using "<./imagelibrary/image.jpg> they would use the full URL.

This places a problem because in the MOSS environment the URLs arecompletely changing. In the WSS environment there really is only 1web app with 5 managed paths. Now we are going to have 6 web apps andno managed paths. Example of the current environtment:https://<FQDN>/corp/sites/<user site>Example of the new environment will behttps://sharepoint.domain.com/sites/<user site>

as you can see, we are going to use Host Headers. We need to see ifthere is a tool that will go through the DBs (or sites) and identifywhich sites have the FQDN and replace that URL with the new URL.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The migration itself should handling rewriting the majority of the links- as long as they are contained in a list, library or OOTB web part(e.g. content editor) they should be done as part of the process. Theones you'll need to worry about are any contained in custom web parts orlinks embedded within documents/attachments.
